The T-Mobile G1 – the first mobile to run on Google’s Android open source mobile software platform – went on sale in the UK today, with customers queuing from 5:00 am at T-Mobile’s Oxford Street store which opened early to allow shoppers to get their hands on the T-Mobile G1.
Exclusive to T-Mobile, the G1 offers a completely new mobile internet experience with full touch screen plus QWERTY keyboard for easy online communication and high speed internet with popular Google services already on board.
The T-Mobile G1 also offers access to innovative application downloads from the new Android Market, 50 of which are available now to download for free.
Jim Hyde, CEO, T-Mobile UK said: “With the richest web experience ever seen on a mobile and thanks to the Android Market, the unprecedented ability to make your mobile work just the way you want, the T-Mobile G1 is set to revolutionise the way we use our phones.
“And judging by early reports coming in from our stores today, people are enthusiastically embracing this revolution and signing up for the T-Mobile G1.”
